Hello John, 

Across the country, trans youth are under attack—bans on healthcare, restrictions in schools, and rhetoric designed to erase them. It’s relentless. It’s calculated. And it’s happening every day.

To mark Trans Day of Visibility, we’re releasing something special: the SolidariT shirt and tote, with every dollar of your purchase supporting It Gets Better. 

Printed boldly across both is the definition: solidariT /ˌsäləˈderədē/ noun – active support, unity, uplifting marginalized groups in the struggle for justice.

This isn’t just merch—it’s a message. A visible show of allyship with trans and gender-nonconforming youth at a time when they need it most.

Wearing it sends a clear signal:
You are seen.
You are valued.
You are not alone.

Every dollar raised goes directly toward supporting trans and gender-nonconforming youth—through our Youth Voices ambassador program, our It Gets Better: Changemakers youth-led grant initiative, and storytelling efforts that uplift and amplify young trans voices when it matters most.

And for Spanish-speaking supporters, the shirt is also available in Español—with the word EmpaTía front and center.

Visibility matters. But it’s not just on trans people to be visible. It’s on all of us to step up, speak out, and build the world we want to live in. Support queer and trans youth and wear this message. We promise you — it makes a difference

And don't forget! Join us at 5pm ET/2pm PT on Twitch for the premiere of Ben in Bloom—a short film that redefines what it means to grow into yourself.

It follows Stella, a non-binary, queer teen from Bucks County, PA—and a former Youth Voices ambassador—as she steps into her truth and lets the world see her in full bloom. The event includes a live conversation with Stella and other trans youth, plus a filmmaker Q&A. It’s a powerful moment of visibility you won’t want to miss. Can’t join live? Ben in Bloom will be available on our YouTube channel after the event.
